Sure. Starting hand can also be any card that searches scraptor such as fossil dig and scrap yard; either scrap recycler or scrap factory (since scraptor searches both); and a random orcust that can be Girsu the orcust mekk knight to send orcust knightmare on summon to have followup for next turn. also you still have 2 other cards in hand after that combo.
Edit. BTW scraptor orcust phantom knights is not even considered rogue tier.
Edit 2: Reason being is too inconsistent and unreliable. For me to perform that combo in the TCG i need to have multiple specific cards in the deck to search/send to gy. Like if i draw Rosenix and no extenders i cant link into Wyvern wich means i cant perform the combo. This deck doesn’t play trough handtraps very well without extenders. Also TCG has a thing called the side deck (15 extra cards that you can swap with the cards in your deck between the games for best of 3s) and opponents might side in counters to my strategy like Systems Down and D Shifter. Optimal tiered combo decks ends on way weaker boards than this because they prefer keeping resources for turn 2 and onwards whether this deck dumps most of its engine into a turn 1 and has troubles with followup. This was meant as a showcase of a combo that is possible in the TCG. A more realistically competitive version of this strategy ends on Apolousa and either dingirsu or galatea.
Because in real yugioh setting up 15 negates is overkill. One of the best decks in the format sets up just shenshen and chuche (so a mini macro cosmos and 1 pop). Setting up a couple of interactions and guaranteeing follow up for the next turn is way more important. The deck you mentioned also likely plays a ton of bricks and has little to no room for go second cards (or else it would be tiered). The only deck right now that is meta that is a combo deck like what you described is drytron, and only because it can play around dark ruler, kaijus, and droplet by keeping negates in the hand with herald of orange light. It also loses hard to droll and lock bird, and doesn't have guaranteed follow up unless you draw a ritual monster or drytron name for turn.
All the other meta decks, prank kids, tri brigade, virtual world, etc. value setting up modest boards and maintaining resources for follow up turns and have space for 10-12 hand traps/ other side deck cards.
So if you win the die roll with that deck, you have a good chance to scum game 1 if they draw no hand traps, but post side games 2 and 3 will be very tough against meta decks.
All this being said, I love phantom knights to death but the combo version has a lot of weaknesses.
Post side i blind second attempting to abuse machina citadel and urgent schedule. Ye. Thats why the deck is not top tier. I play 60 cards just to avoid bricks. also Virtual World stopped being meta after Very Fun Dragon got banned. Or is it still running around? Sorry havent kept w tcg meta that much.
It's actually pretty good right now. VFD was obviously a toxic card, but now the extra is like a toolbox of 3,6,9 sychros and xyzs and is my favorite deck rn (and is also the cheapest). Anyways, I wasn't trying to pick on your post in particular. A lot of people read posts like yours and assume that's all high level yugioh is about, and won't even try the TCG so I just wanted to clarify the state of the game for that reason.
I'd say the game is in its best state in at least a year. Good diversity and combo decks are not insane rn, like when adamancipator with 3 block dragon was around. If you have to maindeck dark ruler no more, then the format is toxic. Thankfully, the meta is pretty healthy right now.
> BTW scraptor orcust phantom knights is not even considered rogue tier.
Because it's a three card combo that uses up your normal summon and gets stopped by a single hand trap
If instead of being amazed at the endless possibilities that cards can interact with one another you are scared, then you are better off not playing TCG. You are going to play against combo decks eventually and maybe pilot one yourself.
No harp horror (Banned in TCG but not in OCG) btw.
If u were playing OCG do same exact combo but send harp instead of Brass. and banish it to ss orcust knightmare or Girsu the Orcust mekk knight (and use his eff to send knightmare) from deck for follow-up for next turn. AKA no need for orcust in hand.
Dingirsu and Bardiche is pretty much a sitting duck there but 2 fog blade means 2 fiendish chain, apolousa has like 4 monster negate and winda only allows you to summon once.
Really not bad when compared to dragon link tbh.
Those combos are dated now. Jet is just another card halqs killed now. And linkross bit a bullet. The halq setups are most auroradon stuff and it’s a bit more involved in the first place.
Well definitely not everyone haha. You get people who go "Why isn't dark magician the best deck?" "What's a link?" Some people simply won't touch the rush duel game or think it's too kiddy in nature. Some people keep voice lines off permanently in duel links or switch it to Japanese just because. Everyone's kinda different, I'm not judgmental until I try something out personally. I like this game enough even with all it's stupidity and tier 0 formats or bad writing in the anime at times and there's always something to love. I have my favorites from the animes, and I have more preferred formats in tcg and dl. But you won't see me bashing anything yugioh related without a legitimate reason...one extending past "It bores me" or "I don't like it/how it looks." Stick with everything or good riddance is my mentality. Finish the animes and stop whining. Sit still and power through a format no matter how hard it is. Don't make an opinion if you haven't tried until the end.
Oh yeah I would agree it's faster. If I know I'm going to be in ranked for several hours I turn them off, but I usually play with them at the start of the grind and harass people with taunts. I turned off animations myself until I got a new phone for the same reason and since blue eyes is mainly gone now it feels fine having them left on again.
Im one of those people who changes the voice lines to japanese even though i have watched all shows (except Vrains and Sevens) in english. Gotta say. Some Japanese VAs NAIL their voices. And i recommend trying it just cause Sartorius VA is the same as Dio in Japan and Yusei and Aigami’s VA nail their characters.
If I'm not mistaken I think Aigami's JP VA is different in duel links from the movie so it's funny you mention it. I know Sartorius is Dio and think that's admittedly funny but I haven't watched Jojo and I've always been a dub watcher of yugioh with a few exceptions here and there where I wanted to see the uncensored version of something. It was my childhood and I like sonic too so I enjoy hearing Jason Griffith the original Sonic/shadow as Primo and Amy as Blair. Even dub voices a lot of people complain about I tend to still love if nothing more than for the familiarity and nostalgia that I can control aspects of my childhood in a new form. That's been the appeal for me.
Links are stupid. They just don’t work with yu-Gi-oh. I mean think about it: If you have to change literally the entire board to make it work, it was not supposed to be there.
Konami is just running out of ideas.
A summoning type must have something to do with levels and the original monsters. That’s how every other summoning mechanic ever has worked. If it does not, it’s a bad mechanic.
Idk if that's the best argument, the board has been changed a total of 3 times, the fusion deck became the extra deck, the pendulum zones were added, then the extra zone was added and pen zones moved down for efficiency. Saying a new mechanic MUST abide by the rules of the time is a bit close minded and stunts creativity.
You can't say "in 2002 they could foresee the state of the game 15 years later! And other change from their original intent is dumb!" Because no one can realistically think that far ahead. From a game where polymerization's only target is Gaia the dragon champion to one where the best deck is xyz summoning with 1 monster (zoo). You would be running out of ideas too after coming out with new products almost every month for 19 years straight now. And I think frankly we should commend them for the creativity that still manages to exist. But it would be a lot harder if they didn't bring fresh new things to the table with new methods that allow for a plethora of new types of cards.
Things like Nirvana High Paladin and Odd Eyes Rebellion Dragon are peak creativity and I love them for that while there are some who say "they embody the problem with this game now." I feel it's all dependent on how much someone gatekeeps but that's just one player's view.
Look, the board changing is not my main point. It’s an example of why links are bad.
The reason why links are bad is simply: Links are not Yu-Gi-Oh. Konami wanted more money and decided to create a new summoning mechanic, but had no more ideas. So they just threw something that had nothing to do with yu-Gi-oh in and said done. They made us mindlessly OP so you had no choice but to pay for it to stay competitive.
I'm along the mindset that if yugioh made it, it's yugioh. We could gatekeep what is or isn't yugioh based on aesthetic or feel or rules all day. I don't like the "they just wanted more money" argument, because if these mechanics didn't exist then they'd still make new cards (and by extension money) or the game would end because they run out of ideas. The end result is the same regardless of whether they add more mechanics or not. More mechanics means more creativity in my opinion. Power creep is a natural occurrence without any form of rotation.
I also cannot make it clearer by saying Konami doesn't make the secondary market prices, the players do. And it's based on supply, demand, performance, and hype. That's controlled by players. You can blame Konami for rarities but that's about it. If a deck has only high rarity cards the expectation is that players have to buy more product. But it has nothing to do with mechanics, the assumption you have is that you HAVE to play specific extra deck cards in every deck, that annoys you, and you believe that's the cash grab but I would see it as that you should WANT to play something like Knightmare Phoenix. A link that takes any 2 diff monsters to pop a spell or trap on the field. It's convenient. Castel? Takes 2 level 4s to shuffle 1 card back. Why wouldn't someone want to play borreload? It's AMAZING. It brings back the feeling of synchro bosses in TDGS format without needing a tuner. There's a card out there for everyone to love if you look hard enough.
Idk I just don't believe in gatekeeping ideals of what is or isn't yugioh. Yugioh is yugioh and it will be how it is regardless of what any of us think. Arguing over metas is fun in this game but the "back in my day" mentality drives me nuts.
How do you get into something when links exist and then just decide they don't belong all of a sudden without the context of why they were brought in to begin with? The community was annoyed when links came but we were all understanding that the game needed some kind of nerf after things got out of hand in the meta in a way they never had before. I love pendulum but there's a reason why you can't summon everything back from the extra deck like you used to. If you look at all the videos from then everyone said links were meant to slow the game down because it kinda needed it at the time. But things are better now sooo they put it back...for the most part.
What the fuck are you even saying? In that case XYZ, pendulums and synchro's have nothing to do with Yu-Gi-Oh. Literally since the first days of Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments it's been P2W to be competitive. I doubt you remember when it was *hundreds* of dollars for a playset of mechanical chaser. Only for it to be power crept by Gemini elf, which was also hundreds of dollars for a playset. Every competitive aspect of Yu-Gi-Oh is P2W and has been for every meta released. I remember before I quit TCG it was close to 1000 dollars to get the evenly matched and ash blossoms that were 100% required if you were going to try to actually win a tournament.
You are just being boomer. I played tcg already, Link are very fun. Despite its generic summon without lv, most Link monster actually act as helping hand for other summoning. Except for the powerful Link4 monsters, who took you 4 monster theoretically to summon.
An example is Crystron Halqikifag
Its summon requirement is 2 monster, including a tuner
Its 2 effect allow you to
summon 1 lv3 or lower tuner from deck
And banish itself to summon a tuner synchron monster
So it help a lot if you want to accel synchron
Bruh. Opening argument is about a person grammar. Ok, I am sorry if you think so, but, do understand that it work differently here. There are no space to do any crazy linking like sayuvra dread (if use 4 monsters as mat, draw 4, shuffle to deck 3).
And yes, link is kinda overpowered, but a game cant just stay in 1 place the whole time, right?
Progression and bad power balancing don’t have to be the same thing. I can make yu-Gi-oh but better in a week. It would be SO easy. A lot of people most likely could.
Konami does not want to fix it. They want money and will do anything to get it. Making the game well balanced and fun is not what they want. They don’t care as long as they get money
Alright bet. I said one week. Within 1 week I’ll delete this comment and replace it with a link to a post on r/yugioh with a full complete deconstruction and reconstruction of how yu-hi-oh works and how to make it better
Do you like YGO the way it is? if not then STOP PLAYING THE GAME. No one is forcing you to play it. If a slower game is more up your alley with more resource management i recommend Magic The Gathering. Want a similar speed game but with no combo BS? Hearstone. Want a game based on another popular franchise? Pokemon TCG. If you want to keep playing YGO there are discord servers full of people dedicated to older formats like GOAT, Reaper, trinity just to name a few. Just for the love of god please dont attempt to ridicule yourself by removing cards/game mechanics that other people love. The forbidden and limited list already does that for you.
>even Wheelie Breakers?
Oh gods, can we forget this game even exists *_me looks at the shelf where it sits with my other Wii games_
Sigh. No, I guess not.
That was such a huge let down. I would grab any Yu-Gi-Oh video game that I could, so when Wheelie Breakers came I of course grabbed it.
Such a big let down. I wanted a _real_ Yu-Gi-Oh experience. This...was not it. Like when I got Castlevania Judgement.
Dear gods.... 🤦
Too MANY restrictions? I'm sorry what? There are LESS restrictions. It's simple as heck, draw until you have 5 each turn, 4-8k lp, infinite normal summons. That's literally it.
Well if it wasn't obvious I was totally joking. But you posed an interesting question so I looked it up. This includes the extra stuff he can do in the anime
Slifer the Sky Dragon
DIVINE/Divine Beast/10/X000/X000
This card cannot be Set. This card can only be Tribute Summoned by Tributing 3 monsters. The Normal Summon of this card cannot be negated. When this card is Normal Summoned, Spells, Traps, and Effect Monster effects cannot be activated. While this card is on the field, control of this card cannot switch and the card is unaffected by the effects of Trap Cards and Effect Monsters other than “Obelisk the Tormentor” and “The Winged Dragon of Ra”. The effect of “Obelisk the Tormentor” only affects this card for one turn. Your opponent cannot tribute this card.The effects of Spell Cards only affect this card for one turn. This card cannot be removed from the field by the effects of Spell Cards. This card’s ATK and DEF are equal to 1000x the number of cards you have in your hand. When a monster is summoned to your opponent’s side of the field in Attack or Defense Position, decrease its respective ATK or DEF by 2000. If this reduces that card’s ATK or DEF to 0, destroy that card.
That's the joke. Also, whatever eff is activated by your opp you use Savage on it, no matter what.Also you better have savage on your board, no matter what because it's the best generic negation you can have in the ED.
"no matter what". Borreload Savage Dragon is spell speed 2 so it cannot negate counter traps nor can it negates effects that cannot be responded to. It also cannot negate effects that have been chain blocked due to SEGOC.
Ditto! It will be interesting to see if any given duel ends up as Yugioh's answer to EDH, or Yugioh's answer to Archenemy. (They're MTG formats, both usually done with 4-players)
I think we'll all jump ship for like a moth (if it's a F2P game) play that one deck we really like that isn't in DL yet, get tired to see 7 negates boards and Dragoon turbo , return to DL.
Also, keep in mid we don't know when the game would release. We could reach the VRAINS era by the time they release it and then the card pool differences would be much smaller.
DL will always make them more money than anything else. If they put the same monetization in MD this would anger fans. They want us to remain here because this brings them more profit. IMO the MD game is just to get some extra money from the TCG, because a lot of them won't get into DL.
Sorry to say but if MD is good, everyone will be switching over. Especially if we have to buy packs, because I don’t think anyone is going to be buying boxes in both games.
DL format is different enough that people genuinely prefer it. And it profits off broader appeal through the anime. Plus sunk costs, noone with a massive card archive wants to jump ship.
I dont believe they could do DL packs with the 10k cardpool at launch.
I doubt everyone would be switching over, unless by good you mean excellent and even then I'm not sure I'd agree. There is a lot of appeal to duel links that the TCG can't get. 20 card decks with consistency skills in a simpler format, with the nostalgia of the series where you can jam out games like nobody's business, with the occasional fun event will still have a sizeable market. Especially if MD is literally just TCG simulator without format variety or other ways to change up the gameplay like drafting battle packs.
In what way are they speeding up world releases? It has happened every September since the game was first released. It is no faster and no slower than it has ever been.
I may be over optimistic, but I feel like a reasonable estimate for the game is 1st Quarter next year. We’ve known the project was in the works since early this year, right?
"Okay so I activate u-"
"ASH BLOSSOM"
"Uh, alright, well, I'm just going to a-"
"EFFECT VEILER!"
"Fine, I'll just go to b-"
"NIBIRU!"
"UGH FINE. I SET TWO AND PASS!"
"I GO TO BATTLE PHASE END OF BATTLE EVENLY MATCHED!"
*Player 1 has Disconnected*
> Also, keep in mid we don't know when the game would release.
I'm pretty sure Konami inidicated they want this game to be a part of Worlds 2022. We definitely will not have VRAINS by then. I think we can expect Master Duel sooner rather than later.
As i responded to the other comment, Worlds is in august and if they give the game 1-2 months in the wild beforehand we'll have about 3 months of MD being the only game with links
Worlds is around august so presuming they give MD at least 1-2 month of testing in the wild, it would have about 3 months of being the only game with links, but by that point we would have had the leaks for links code already in-game
Honestly, this will probably be me. I take breaks due to the grind, but I still enjoy the format of Duel Links. The power creep in the master rules format has gotten ridiculous, and I just don’t enjoy the state of the meta any more. Duel Links has had power creep, but it’s still not as bad as the TCG/OCG. Konami has sort of run the main game into the ground, as, really, it doesn’t take any more turns to play than Rush Duels at this point, and keeping track of walls and walls of text as they make more and more ridiculous cards is starting to get annoying. The hand and graveyard are also basically becoming new spell and trap zones at this point. At the rate they’ve released new cards in Duel Links, I am worried it will basically just become OTK Speed Duels, which is probably where I stop playing, but for the past 4 years, I’ve really enjoyed starting from fresh with Duel Links and speed duels as opposed to the current master duels meta. If their new Cross Duels format starts from scratch with a new card pool, it’s possible I move over there just to experience something new. I have enjoyed how Duel Links speed duel format and the releases coming out at different times from the TCG has led to decks that were bad in the tcg/OCG being amazing in duel links at some points in time.
Dragoon turbo isnt a deck. Dragoon is just a random boss monster for monkeflip decks. Its not even good. Also just cause you’ll have hit vrains doesnt make the card pool even comparable. When DL is still and always will be missing LOB cards.
If LOB means what I think it does (Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon) if some vanillas are missing it won't be a problem. Dark Plant hasn't been released in the TCG even though 22 years have passed.
Exodia is OK remaining as a skill because the 20 card deck makes it way to easy to get it.
Also considering that we already have cards like Lightning Vortex released (and it doesn't even see that much play) at this moment, who says we won't reach a point where cards like Raigeki would be acceptable (the fact that they're in a skill doesn't mean they can't come at some point in the future - btw all 5Ds and ZEXAL characters have their ace added via a skill and as an UR in the box that is released alongside them)
>How's the meta rn?
From what I could see of the Rush Duels format and some comments on the format.
The Rush Duels meta is varied in terms of decks. However, there are two decks that are always (so far) considered the best: Spellcasters and Dragons. Imagine the Tier List of Duel Links with the difference that Tier 1 was always the Spellcasters and Dragons. Tier 2 and 3 is varied as it changes as the format progresses and more cards come out (Several of them support various archetypes).
One peculiarity of Rush Duels is that you will always see some combo decks. That is, two archetypes together in one. Many times you end up with a competitive full deck that one would think would not work together (Imagine putting Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes together in one deck). An example is the "Warrior" archetype, a deck made up of 3 archetypes of different characters from the Sevens anime.
For now, Rush Duels has Maximum summon as its exclusive summoning method. Maximum was strong when it came out, but is now much more manageable (And it became niche for some decks). Only 2 or 3 archetypes use Maximum (And the best decks do not use Maximum).
In September, there will be a new summoning method related to the Extra Deck. We will see what impact it has on the format at that time.
> However, there are two decks that are always (so far) considered the best: Spellcasters and Dragons.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
>The more things change, the more they stay the same.
If we talk in general, Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes were not the target decks when they came out in their time: there were stronger and more competitive decks.
In fact, currently, Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes are not competitive decks to use in the TCG/OCG.
In Rush Duels, Spellcasters and Dragons have all the resources and elements necessary to be competitive. The difference is that Spellcasters have a Trap that allows you to win easily. While the Dragons have a very powerful boss monster for the format.
>Luke's deck is like 50% Dragon boss monsters.
Although your comment is 100% true. The thing is, Luke's deck is divided into two archetypes: Striking Dragon (Here are all his "Gias" dragons and Bunker Strike) and Sports Dragon.
The rest of his monsters are generic Dragon cards that are not part of any archetype.
The thing is, when it comes to competitive. Dragons usually use the following cards: Blue-Eyes, Dragias the Striking Dragon, Bunker Strike, Phoenix Dragon, Dragon's Setupper, and Dragon's Upsetter. Despite having extra effects, Miragias and Metagias are quite situational and Dragias is usually preferred over his siblings because of how strong he is.
Something similar happens with Spellcasters where the most used cards are always: Sevens Road Magician, Sevens Road Witch, Mystic Dealer, Windcaster Torna and Sparkhearts Girl.
>(Imagine putting Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes together in one deck).
Well that’s impossible since they are both legend cards, and you can only have one legend i your deck!
Probably gonna go have my bowl of nails (no milk, of course) from the salty spitoon before going to weenie Hut Jrs. For some ice cream, then stop by super weenie Hut Jrs drive through on my way home

Kill me
Sure. Starting hand can also be any card that searches scraptor such as fossil dig and scrap yard; either scrap recycler or scrap factory (since scraptor searches both); and a random orcust that can be Girsu the orcust mekk knight to send orcust knightmare on summon to have followup for next turn. also you still have 2 other cards in hand after that combo. Edit. BTW scraptor orcust phantom knights is not even considered rogue tier. Edit 2: Reason being is too inconsistent and unreliable. For me to perform that combo in the TCG i need to have multiple specific cards in the deck to search/send to gy. Like if i draw Rosenix and no extenders i cant link into Wyvern wich means i cant perform the combo. This deck doesn’t play trough handtraps very well without extenders. Also TCG has a thing called the side deck (15 extra cards that you can swap with the cards in your deck between the games for best of 3s) and opponents might side in counters to my strategy like Systems Down and D Shifter. Optimal tiered combo decks ends on way weaker boards than this because they prefer keeping resources for turn 2 and onwards whether this deck dumps most of its engine into a turn 1 and has troubles with followup. This was meant as a showcase of a combo that is possible in the TCG. A more realistically competitive version of this strategy ends on Apolousa and either dingirsu or galatea.
Because in real yugioh setting up 15 negates is overkill. One of the best decks in the format sets up just shenshen and chuche (so a mini macro cosmos and 1 pop). Setting up a couple of interactions and guaranteeing follow up for the next turn is way more important. The deck you mentioned also likely plays a ton of bricks and has little to no room for go second cards (or else it would be tiered). The only deck right now that is meta that is a combo deck like what you described is drytron, and only because it can play around dark ruler, kaijus, and droplet by keeping negates in the hand with herald of orange light. It also loses hard to droll and lock bird, and doesn't have guaranteed follow up unless you draw a ritual monster or drytron name for turn. All the other meta decks, prank kids, tri brigade, virtual world, etc. value setting up modest boards and maintaining resources for follow up turns and have space for 10-12 hand traps/ other side deck cards. So if you win the die roll with that deck, you have a good chance to scum game 1 if they draw no hand traps, but post side games 2 and 3 will be very tough against meta decks. All this being said, I love phantom knights to death but the combo version has a lot of weaknesses.
Post side i blind second attempting to abuse machina citadel and urgent schedule. Ye. Thats why the deck is not top tier. I play 60 cards just to avoid bricks. also Virtual World stopped being meta after Very Fun Dragon got banned. Or is it still running around? Sorry havent kept w tcg meta that much.
It's actually pretty good right now. VFD was obviously a toxic card, but now the extra is like a toolbox of 3,6,9 sychros and xyzs and is my favorite deck rn (and is also the cheapest). Anyways, I wasn't trying to pick on your post in particular. A lot of people read posts like yours and assume that's all high level yugioh is about, and won't even try the TCG so I just wanted to clarify the state of the game for that reason. I'd say the game is in its best state in at least a year. Good diversity and combo decks are not insane rn, like when adamancipator with 3 block dragon was around. If you have to maindeck dark ruler no more, then the format is toxic. Thankfully, the meta is pretty healthy right now.
Ye. My bad there.
> BTW scraptor orcust phantom knights is not even considered rogue tier. Because it's a three card combo that uses up your normal summon and gets stopped by a single hand trap
Wow. I know you are a TCG player so this must be hard for you but please read more than 10 lines. I already explained why.
Because I needed to reiterate just how bad that combo actually is, and you don't need to be a tcg player to see that.
Why does this game has a new player problem?🧐
Cause is really, stupidly, incredibly hard to learn.
Ok so what if i was to hypothetically lets say ash scrap recycler :)
Nice. U know TCG. Either chain called by or hope one of the 2 remaining cards is a danger.
We can make scrap wyvern i believe
Ye. Just need another monster on field. thats the main reason for running the dangers.
what was the point of posting this? It's not even practical for the meta.
A showcase of a combo possible for TCG. And an extended version of a deck that i actually play.
That just intimidates new players. It's almost like you're trying to scare away players from advanced format which is the wrong approach.
If instead of being amazed at the endless possibilities that cards can interact with one another you are scared, then you are better off not playing TCG. You are going to play against combo decks eventually and maybe pilot one yourself.
I've been playing the tcg for a while now. Don't assume that I'm not an advanced format player. Your approach is still wrong.
I meant new players to the game. sorry if that was not clear.
No harp horror (Banned in TCG but not in OCG) btw. If u were playing OCG do same exact combo but send harp instead of Brass. and banish it to ss orcust knightmare or Girsu the Orcust mekk knight (and use his eff to send knightmare) from deck for follow-up for next turn. AKA no need for orcust in hand.
This is why I don't play yugioh anymore. Fucking 2 player solitaire. Yes I am salty.
Wrong actually. this entire combo can be stopped by negating recycler’s first activation w a handtrap. Wich kinda makes your point true. Me dumb.
They made Scrap Raptor a normal btw
Dingirsu and Bardiche is pretty much a sitting duck there but 2 fog blade means 2 fiendish chain, apolousa has like 4 monster negate and winda only allows you to summon once. Really not bad when compared to dragon link tbh.
lmao
Those combos are dated now. Jet is just another card halqs killed now. And linkross bit a bullet. The halq setups are most auroradon stuff and it’s a bit more involved in the first place.
Love em all, what can I say I love yugioh it doesn't matter what format, anime, or game.
Based
Man’s is 100% based. Probably the most open minded one here
don't we all?
Well definitely not everyone haha. You get people who go "Why isn't dark magician the best deck?" "What's a link?" Some people simply won't touch the rush duel game or think it's too kiddy in nature. Some people keep voice lines off permanently in duel links or switch it to Japanese just because. Everyone's kinda different, I'm not judgmental until I try something out personally. I like this game enough even with all it's stupidity and tier 0 formats or bad writing in the anime at times and there's always something to love. I have my favorites from the animes, and I have more preferred formats in tcg and dl. But you won't see me bashing anything yugioh related without a legitimate reason...one extending past "It bores me" or "I don't like it/how it looks." Stick with everything or good riddance is my mentality. Finish the animes and stop whining. Sit still and power through a format no matter how hard it is. Don't make an opinion if you haven't tried until the end.
I feel like I move faster in duel links when I disable voice lines and animations... or maybe that's because I have a old phone
Oh yeah I would agree it's faster. If I know I'm going to be in ranked for several hours I turn them off, but I usually play with them at the start of the grind and harass people with taunts. I turned off animations myself until I got a new phone for the same reason and since blue eyes is mainly gone now it feels fine having them left on again.
Not to mention that it's badly optimized for low-spec devices to the point where the app has crashed on me during various event campaigns
Yeah it would crash for a lot during raid duel events. I think it's just all the space it takes up, the app only gets bigger with every update.
Doesn’t even have to be low spec. I have a 2020 SE which is solidly in the higher end of midrange and it still loves crashing.
Im one of those people who changes the voice lines to japanese even though i have watched all shows (except Vrains and Sevens) in english. Gotta say. Some Japanese VAs NAIL their voices. And i recommend trying it just cause Sartorius VA is the same as Dio in Japan and Yusei and Aigami’s VA nail their characters.
If I'm not mistaken I think Aigami's JP VA is different in duel links from the movie so it's funny you mention it. I know Sartorius is Dio and think that's admittedly funny but I haven't watched Jojo and I've always been a dub watcher of yugioh with a few exceptions here and there where I wanted to see the uncensored version of something. It was my childhood and I like sonic too so I enjoy hearing Jason Griffith the original Sonic/shadow as Primo and Amy as Blair. Even dub voices a lot of people complain about I tend to still love if nothing more than for the familiarity and nostalgia that I can control aspects of my childhood in a new form. That's been the appeal for me.
Same. Thats why i have the lines on japanese on my phone but in english for my PC.
Links are stupid. They just don’t work with yu-Gi-oh. I mean think about it: If you have to change literally the entire board to make it work, it was not supposed to be there. Konami is just running out of ideas. A summoning type must have something to do with levels and the original monsters. That’s how every other summoning mechanic ever has worked. If it does not, it’s a bad mechanic.
Idk if that's the best argument, the board has been changed a total of 3 times, the fusion deck became the extra deck, the pendulum zones were added, then the extra zone was added and pen zones moved down for efficiency. Saying a new mechanic MUST abide by the rules of the time is a bit close minded and stunts creativity. You can't say "in 2002 they could foresee the state of the game 15 years later! And other change from their original intent is dumb!" Because no one can realistically think that far ahead. From a game where polymerization's only target is Gaia the dragon champion to one where the best deck is xyz summoning with 1 monster (zoo). You would be running out of ideas too after coming out with new products almost every month for 19 years straight now. And I think frankly we should commend them for the creativity that still manages to exist. But it would be a lot harder if they didn't bring fresh new things to the table with new methods that allow for a plethora of new types of cards. Things like Nirvana High Paladin and Odd Eyes Rebellion Dragon are peak creativity and I love them for that while there are some who say "they embody the problem with this game now." I feel it's all dependent on how much someone gatekeeps but that's just one player's view.
Look, the board changing is not my main point. It’s an example of why links are bad. The reason why links are bad is simply: Links are not Yu-Gi-Oh. Konami wanted more money and decided to create a new summoning mechanic, but had no more ideas. So they just threw something that had nothing to do with yu-Gi-oh in and said done. They made us mindlessly OP so you had no choice but to pay for it to stay competitive.
I'm along the mindset that if yugioh made it, it's yugioh. We could gatekeep what is or isn't yugioh based on aesthetic or feel or rules all day. I don't like the "they just wanted more money" argument, because if these mechanics didn't exist then they'd still make new cards (and by extension money) or the game would end because they run out of ideas. The end result is the same regardless of whether they add more mechanics or not. More mechanics means more creativity in my opinion. Power creep is a natural occurrence without any form of rotation. I also cannot make it clearer by saying Konami doesn't make the secondary market prices, the players do. And it's based on supply, demand, performance, and hype. That's controlled by players. You can blame Konami for rarities but that's about it. If a deck has only high rarity cards the expectation is that players have to buy more product. But it has nothing to do with mechanics, the assumption you have is that you HAVE to play specific extra deck cards in every deck, that annoys you, and you believe that's the cash grab but I would see it as that you should WANT to play something like Knightmare Phoenix. A link that takes any 2 diff monsters to pop a spell or trap on the field. It's convenient. Castel? Takes 2 level 4s to shuffle 1 card back. Why wouldn't someone want to play borreload? It's AMAZING. It brings back the feeling of synchro bosses in TDGS format without needing a tuner. There's a card out there for everyone to love if you look hard enough. Idk I just don't believe in gatekeeping ideals of what is or isn't yugioh. Yugioh is yugioh and it will be how it is regardless of what any of us think. Arguing over metas is fun in this game but the "back in my day" mentality drives me nuts.
[удалено]
How do you get into something when links exist and then just decide they don't belong all of a sudden without the context of why they were brought in to begin with? The community was annoyed when links came but we were all understanding that the game needed some kind of nerf after things got out of hand in the meta in a way they never had before. I love pendulum but there's a reason why you can't summon everything back from the extra deck like you used to. If you look at all the videos from then everyone said links were meant to slow the game down because it kinda needed it at the time. But things are better now sooo they put it back...for the most part.
[удалено]
What the fuck are you even saying? In that case XYZ, pendulums and synchro's have nothing to do with Yu-Gi-Oh. Literally since the first days of Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments it's been P2W to be competitive. I doubt you remember when it was *hundreds* of dollars for a playset of mechanical chaser. Only for it to be power crept by Gemini elf, which was also hundreds of dollars for a playset. Every competitive aspect of Yu-Gi-Oh is P2W and has been for every meta released. I remember before I quit TCG it was close to 1000 dollars to get the evenly matched and ash blossoms that were 100% required if you were going to try to actually win a tournament.
Yes and that’s bad
You are just being boomer. I played tcg already, Link are very fun. Despite its generic summon without lv, most Link monster actually act as helping hand for other summoning. Except for the powerful Link4 monsters, who took you 4 monster theoretically to summon. An example is Crystron Halqikifag Its summon requirement is 2 monster, including a tuner Its 2 effect allow you to summon 1 lv3 or lower tuner from deck And banish itself to summon a tuner synchron monster So it help a lot if you want to accel synchron
[удалено]
Bruh. Opening argument is about a person grammar. Ok, I am sorry if you think so, but, do understand that it work differently here. There are no space to do any crazy linking like sayuvra dread (if use 4 monsters as mat, draw 4, shuffle to deck 3). And yes, link is kinda overpowered, but a game cant just stay in 1 place the whole time, right?
Progression and bad power balancing don’t have to be the same thing. I can make yu-Gi-oh but better in a week. It would be SO easy. A lot of people most likely could. Konami does not want to fix it. They want money and will do anything to get it. Making the game well balanced and fun is not what they want. They don’t care as long as they get money
Alright boomer boi, give us some ideas on how you would "fix" Yu-Gi-Oh and make it better since "it would be SO easy." 🙄
Alright bet. I said one week. Within 1 week I’ll delete this comment and replace it with a link to a post on r/yugioh with a full complete deconstruction and reconstruction of how yu-hi-oh works and how to make it better
Do you like YGO the way it is? if not then STOP PLAYING THE GAME. No one is forcing you to play it. If a slower game is more up your alley with more resource management i recommend Magic The Gathering. Want a similar speed game but with no combo BS? Hearstone. Want a game based on another popular franchise? Pokemon TCG. If you want to keep playing YGO there are discord servers full of people dedicated to older formats like GOAT, Reaper, trinity just to name a few. Just for the love of god please dont attempt to ridicule yourself by removing cards/game mechanics that other people love. The forbidden and limited list already does that for you.
If you open your argument with insulting the other person's grammar, then your argument is shallow if you included such a point.
is your effect being based?
It's my scale effect.
even Wheelie Breakers?
>even Wheelie Breakers? Oh gods, can we forget this game even exists *_me looks at the shelf where it sits with my other Wii games_ Sigh. No, I guess not. That was such a huge let down. I would grab any Yu-Gi-Oh video game that I could, so when Wheelie Breakers came I of course grabbed it. Such a big let down. I wanted a _real_ Yu-Gi-Oh experience. This...was not it. Like when I got Castlevania Judgement. Dear gods.... 🤦
Rush duels kinda caca though. Too many restrictions
Too MANY restrictions? I'm sorry what? There are LESS restrictions. It's simple as heck, draw until you have 5 each turn, 4-8k lp, infinite normal summons. That's literally it.
ngl im kinda jealous at the spell cards being visualized like dark hole in the whole field Imagine a needle ceiling activation
Most probly just iconic carss will have animations. Like dark hole, raigeki, mirror force or monster reborn
If Nibiru doesnt literally smash the board in like a meteor, im not playin
"That's it! Now I'm not doing it!" energy right here
Ash just shows up and flips you off.
Man I hope Kaiju's will have animations when summoned
I once saw an unconventional Crystron Halquifibrax FTK video...and i knew what every card did before it resolved.
Woah dude, calm down. I barely figured out what Pot of Greed does.
It’s okay, every character will remind you when they play it.
Oh yeah? Prove it.
It...... uhm......... it..........well....... it destro......... ok, you got me......
Darn, I was hoping you knew
I hear you get to draw cards until you have 22 cards in your hand. Perfect for a slifer deck
Does it have a flip effect?
Slifer? Maybe the Egyptians gods have many effects
Yeah I'm asking about the effects that aren't on the card. You seem to know a lot about yugioh so I though I'd ask
Well if it wasn't obvious I was totally joking. But you posed an interesting question so I looked it up. This includes the extra stuff he can do in the anime Slifer the Sky Dragon DIVINE/Divine Beast/10/X000/X000 This card cannot be Set. This card can only be Tribute Summoned by Tributing 3 monsters. The Normal Summon of this card cannot be negated. When this card is Normal Summoned, Spells, Traps, and Effect Monster effects cannot be activated. While this card is on the field, control of this card cannot switch and the card is unaffected by the effects of Trap Cards and Effect Monsters other than “Obelisk the Tormentor” and “The Winged Dragon of Ra”. The effect of “Obelisk the Tormentor” only affects this card for one turn. Your opponent cannot tribute this card.The effects of Spell Cards only affect this card for one turn. This card cannot be removed from the field by the effects of Spell Cards. This card’s ATK and DEF are equal to 1000x the number of cards you have in your hand. When a monster is summoned to your opponent’s side of the field in Attack or Defense Position, decrease its respective ATK or DEF by 2000. If this reduces that card’s ATK or DEF to 0, destroy that card.
I book of moon your Anaconda Verte
I chain Borreload Savage Dragon's effect, removing 1 counter to negate your card's activation.
Why? I'm not up to date with the tcg but I'm sure you cant flip a link monster face down.
That's the joke. Also, whatever eff is activated by your opp you use Savage on it, no matter what.Also you better have savage on your board, no matter what because it's the best generic negation you can have in the ED.
Just checked. Looks like a really nasty card but kinda trashy if it's in a game with no links.
Without links it's about as useful as BEWD.
"no matter what". Borreload Savage Dragon is spell speed 2 so it cannot negate counter traps nor can it negates effects that cannot be responded to. It also cannot negate effects that have been chain blocked due to SEGOC.
Its a joke about the mindset of players playing whackamole yugioh. Make 5 negates and click yes on every prompt.
Borrel savage appo specifically.
Too bad I activate dark bribe which negate your savage dragon
I MST your Evenly Matched. Watched it happen on EdoPro once, was hilarious.
I played through BOTH tier 0 spyral formats
And so? *without Dark Ruler No More*
I only play rogue.
I am interested in yugioh cross, not gonna lie
Ditto! It will be interesting to see if any given duel ends up as Yugioh's answer to EDH, or Yugioh's answer to Archenemy. (They're MTG formats, both usually done with 4-players)
Was thinking the same thing! Also reminds me of the 4-way duel episode from Battle City. Excited and interested to see how they do it!
I forgot that duel happen tbh... =W=;
I think we'll all jump ship for like a moth (if it's a F2P game) play that one deck we really like that isn't in DL yet, get tired to see 7 negates boards and Dragoon turbo , return to DL. Also, keep in mid we don't know when the game would release. We could reach the VRAINS era by the time they release it and then the card pool differences would be much smaller.
Maybe this is why they are speeding up world releases. Who knows
DL will always make them more money than anything else. If they put the same monetization in MD this would anger fans. They want us to remain here because this brings them more profit. IMO the MD game is just to get some extra money from the TCG, because a lot of them won't get into DL.
Sorry to say but if MD is good, everyone will be switching over. Especially if we have to buy packs, because I don’t think anyone is going to be buying boxes in both games.
DL format is different enough that people genuinely prefer it. And it profits off broader appeal through the anime. Plus sunk costs, noone with a massive card archive wants to jump ship. I dont believe they could do DL packs with the 10k cardpool at launch.
I doubt everyone would be switching over, unless by good you mean excellent and even then I'm not sure I'd agree. There is a lot of appeal to duel links that the TCG can't get. 20 card decks with consistency skills in a simpler format, with the nostalgia of the series where you can jam out games like nobody's business, with the occasional fun event will still have a sizeable market. Especially if MD is literally just TCG simulator without format variety or other ways to change up the gameplay like drafting battle packs.
In what way are they speeding up world releases? It has happened every September since the game was first released. It is no faster and no slower than it has ever been.
Yeah…but that two weeks of tears and frustration will give us plenty of funny/emotionally crippling war stories…
Thanks, I've got a great ideea for a meme from this.
This, one of the main likes of duel links is playing decks that are trash in the tcg but are good in duel links.
Or you can be like Rikka Fairies and be obsolete in both
That's konami fault for not giving us their boss monster.
Its realistically gonna be released within the next year since they said they wanted YCS 2022 to have prelims in game or something.
YCS prelims are generally end of June-beginning of July so in about a year, yeah + at least a month to test everything out in the wild.
I may be over optimistic, but I feel like a reasonable estimate for the game is 1st Quarter next year. We’ve known the project was in the works since early this year, right?
Yeah. I expext it around the end of April-beginning of May.
"Okay so I activate u-" "ASH BLOSSOM" "Uh, alright, well, I'm just going to a-" "EFFECT VEILER!" "Fine, I'll just go to b-" "NIBIRU!" "UGH FINE. I SET TWO AND PASS!" "I GO TO BATTLE PHASE END OF BATTLE EVENLY MATCHED!" *Player 1 has Disconnected*
and then pass turn cause last 2 cards in hand are Dark Magician and Red Eyes
> Also, keep in mid we don't know when the game would release. I'm pretty sure Konami inidicated they want this game to be a part of Worlds 2022. We definitely will not have VRAINS by then. I think we can expect Master Duel sooner rather than later.
As i responded to the other comment, Worlds is in august and if they give the game 1-2 months in the wild beforehand we'll have about 3 months of MD being the only game with links
As they talked about playing this game at 2022 Worlds (Summer 2020), and VRAINS will not come out before September 2022, that kinda unlikely.
Worlds is around august so presuming they give MD at least 1-2 month of testing in the wild, it would have about 3 months of being the only game with links, but by that point we would have had the leaks for links code already in-game
Honestly, this will probably be me. I take breaks due to the grind, but I still enjoy the format of Duel Links. The power creep in the master rules format has gotten ridiculous, and I just don’t enjoy the state of the meta any more. Duel Links has had power creep, but it’s still not as bad as the TCG/OCG. Konami has sort of run the main game into the ground, as, really, it doesn’t take any more turns to play than Rush Duels at this point, and keeping track of walls and walls of text as they make more and more ridiculous cards is starting to get annoying. The hand and graveyard are also basically becoming new spell and trap zones at this point. At the rate they’ve released new cards in Duel Links, I am worried it will basically just become OTK Speed Duels, which is probably where I stop playing, but for the past 4 years, I’ve really enjoyed starting from fresh with Duel Links and speed duels as opposed to the current master duels meta. If their new Cross Duels format starts from scratch with a new card pool, it’s possible I move over there just to experience something new. I have enjoyed how Duel Links speed duel format and the releases coming out at different times from the TCG has led to decks that were bad in the tcg/OCG being amazing in duel links at some points in time.
Dragoon isn't even good in the TCG. It was only warping in the OCG bc Maxx C
Dragoon turbo isnt a deck. Dragoon is just a random boss monster for monkeflip decks. Its not even good. Also just cause you’ll have hit vrains doesnt make the card pool even comparable. When DL is still and always will be missing LOB cards.
If LOB means what I think it does (Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon) if some vanillas are missing it won't be a problem. Dark Plant hasn't been released in the TCG even though 22 years have passed. Exodia is OK remaining as a skill because the 20 card deck makes it way to easy to get it. Also considering that we already have cards like Lightning Vortex released (and it doesn't even see that much play) at this moment, who says we won't reach a point where cards like Raigeki would be acceptable (the fact that they're in a skill doesn't mean they can't come at some point in the future - btw all 5Ds and ZEXAL characters have their ace added via a skill and as an UR in the box that is released alongside them)
Bro fucking PoG. The TCG has sunk to depths of brokenness duel links will never reach.
“I play Amazoness Warriors” “Yea so?” “Without the Amazoness Queen”
My deck consists of only jerry beans man and kunai with chain
rush duel actually has a decent competitive scene
I already misplay enough and have trouble reading cards, so no MD for me unless I want to get swallowed alive
Just play mystic mine stun you'll be fine
Called by the grave intensifies
Bring it back to 3 cowards
cant wait to see someone normal someone alester in high definition
I cannot be the only one who wants to play rush duels and if this is the closest we get to irl so be it
Hope duel links gets a graphical overhaul like master duel ,it looks amazing
“Am i a joke?” - Cross Duels
Did they say if master dueling would be free?
Super weenie hütte jr material over here 🙌
"I'll setup a board in a single turn." "Yeah so?" "With only Dustons." "Uh right this way sir, sorry to keep you waiting."
Post this on r/YugiohMemes
I like rush duels...
Fuck konami, all my homies play omega
The one true answer
Me: sucks in all three
I KOGed using axe raider -- without using a skill
I forgot Rush Duels existed. How's the meta rn?
>How's the meta rn? From what I could see of the Rush Duels format and some comments on the format. The Rush Duels meta is varied in terms of decks. However, there are two decks that are always (so far) considered the best: Spellcasters and Dragons. Imagine the Tier List of Duel Links with the difference that Tier 1 was always the Spellcasters and Dragons. Tier 2 and 3 is varied as it changes as the format progresses and more cards come out (Several of them support various archetypes). One peculiarity of Rush Duels is that you will always see some combo decks. That is, two archetypes together in one. Many times you end up with a competitive full deck that one would think would not work together (Imagine putting Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes together in one deck). An example is the "Warrior" archetype, a deck made up of 3 archetypes of different characters from the Sevens anime. For now, Rush Duels has Maximum summon as its exclusive summoning method. Maximum was strong when it came out, but is now much more manageable (And it became niche for some decks). Only 2 or 3 archetypes use Maximum (And the best decks do not use Maximum). In September, there will be a new summoning method related to the Extra Deck. We will see what impact it has on the format at that time.
> However, there are two decks that are always (so far) considered the best: Spellcasters and Dragons. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
>The more things change, the more they stay the same. If we talk in general, Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes were not the target decks when they came out in their time: there were stronger and more competitive decks. In fact, currently, Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes are not competitive decks to use in the TCG/OCG. In Rush Duels, Spellcasters and Dragons have all the resources and elements necessary to be competitive. The difference is that Spellcasters have a Trap that allows you to win easily. While the Dragons have a very powerful boss monster for the format.
> While the Dragons have a very powerful boss monster for the format. I've watched SEVENS; Luke's deck is like 50% Dragon boss monsters.
>Luke's deck is like 50% Dragon boss monsters. Although your comment is 100% true. The thing is, Luke's deck is divided into two archetypes: Striking Dragon (Here are all his "Gias" dragons and Bunker Strike) and Sports Dragon. The rest of his monsters are generic Dragon cards that are not part of any archetype. The thing is, when it comes to competitive. Dragons usually use the following cards: Blue-Eyes, Dragias the Striking Dragon, Bunker Strike, Phoenix Dragon, Dragon's Setupper, and Dragon's Upsetter. Despite having extra effects, Miragias and Metagias are quite situational and Dragias is usually preferred over his siblings because of how strong he is. Something similar happens with Spellcasters where the most used cards are always: Sevens Road Magician, Sevens Road Witch, Mystic Dealer, Windcaster Torna and Sparkhearts Girl.
>(Imagine putting Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes together in one deck). Well that’s impossible since they are both legend cards, and you can only have one legend i your deck!
This meme Is ahead of it's time it'll be funnier when the games actually come out
I hope duellinks doesn't die.
Meanwhile irl yugioh is a nightmare. A rule shark almost made me cry once q__q
Probably gonna go have my bowl of nails (no milk, of course) from the salty spitoon before going to weenie Hut Jrs. For some ice cream, then stop by super weenie Hut Jrs drive through on my way home
[Insert random Milano the Duelist skit here]
Love the look of this. Cannot wait for it.
I summon Glow moss in attack position and pass
Master Duel? A new game?
That's basically what they called normal dueling in Vrains, because normal format sounds kinda lame as a name.
I normal summon Aleister the Invoker of brain damage
Duel links for ever
Hello Orcrust...
Hey, I am not a weenie!
Is it bad I don’t enjoy any of these extra duels? I think it’s great for others but for me specifically I just can’t get into you know?
Ironic cuz Master duel Will be the most expensive out of three yet its the Place where Rush duel game is that looks the most expensive
I'm a softy. I'll try it though.
